## Caption

70% of earth is water and 97% of that water is found in oceans.

Right now, organizations across Southern California are in the process of developing innovative exhibitions, publications, performances, and public programs focused on the intersections of art and science for PSTinLA 2024.
 
Water is critical to life. It is no surprise that water and oceans are one of the major themes that have surfaced.
 
Three projects to look forward to:
 
1️⃣ At OCMuseumofArt, "Sea Change" will feature artists who address ecological crises such as increasing water temperatures, rising sea levels, and plastic pollution. Artists from Asia, Oceania, South America, and more are working to document and improve the Pacific’s ailing conditions, from tracking the acidification of the Galapagos Islands to designing intertidal seawalls that allow marine life to thrive.
 
2️⃣ “Oceanographic Art and Science” at the UCSD Institute of Arts and Humanities is exploring visual and sensory techniques to see, measure, and imagine the oceans, such as charts, maps, vessels, and instruments historically used by scientists and Indigenous communities to navigate the Pacific.
 
3️⃣ “Brackish Water Los Angeles” at CSUDH is researching places where fresh and ocean waters collide, uncovering the complex ecosystems, infrastructure, and politics of Los Angeles that have led to concrete rivers, industrial contamination, and environmental racism.
 
Follow pstinla and #PSTinLA to join the conversation and learn about the projects as they unfold.
